DI 60075: Promoting Opportunity Demonstration (POD)

Effective Dates: 02/01/2018 - Present

BASIC (02-18)

January 2018 through December 2018

Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) will begin actively recruiting and enrolling volunteers for the Promoting Opportunity Demonstration (POD) in December 2017. MPR will begin enrollment by mailing 10,000 recruitment packets over a three-month pilot phase to eligible Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries. After the pilot phase, MPR will continue solicitation by mailing 25,000 recruitment packets per month for the remaining 11 months of enrollment.

MPR has a target population of 15,000 beneficiaries for all three POD groups (treatment group 1, treatment group 2, and the control group). MPR will stop enrollment when it successfully enrolls 15,000 beneficiaries or on December 31, 2018, whichever comes first.

The Disability Control File (DCF) automatically updates Start and Stop dates of participation upon a beneficiary’s random assignment to a treatment group. The DCF does not update for those randomly assigned to the control group.
